Frequently Asked Questions

What is SAP Field Service Management and how does it empower organizations to improve service efficiency?

With the cloud-based solution, you can resolve customers issues quickly with end-to-end field service management. The solution is composed of the following features and apps: Planning & dispatching, Mobile apps for your Technicians and Engineers, Smartforms & feedback, Customer self-service, Analytics & Reports.

How does AI improve Scheduling and Dispatching?

The AI-based scheduling and dispatching tool lets you optimize resource utilization and minimize idle time. Automize your Scheduling process with the use of preconfigured and customizable optimization plugins that are fully tailored to your business. The framework - a set of services that support fully automated planning - works with plugins. In their essence, plugins are containers of planning configurations. Thus, within a plugin, all requirements that are relevant for the planning process are contained as code. This enables customers to programmatically reflect all criteria that are relevant for planning and optimization of the field service activities, such as (but not limited to):

Distance between the current location of the technician and the planned job
The next available timeslot
Technicians’ skills and requirements of each individual job
Technicians’ familiarity with the customer and the issue at hand.

How does SAP help my company to overcome the skill shortage in field service?

SAP Field Service Management helps you overcome resource limitations – such as having enough skilled technicians in all locations and at peak times – to help meet dynamic customer demand and expectations. SAP Crowd Service enables you to build a network of service experts, including partners and subcontractors. You can assign service calls based on need, skills, location, and availability, and support external technicians with mobile tools, empowering them to provide professional-level services that facilitate resolution and expand your geographical reach.

Do my technicians need internet connection to be able to work with the mobile solution?
